Super Tuscans

Super Tuscans are the rebels of Tuscany. In the 1970s, wineries like Tenuta San Guido and Antinori broke with the strict Chianti rules: they planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged them in barriques, and preferred to forgo the DOCG rather than compromise their style. Sassicaia and Tignanello thus became world-class wines – and the emergency solution of "table wine" turned into a category of its own.

Today, the term stands for the great cuvées of Tuscany beyond the Sangiovese canon: the Bordeaux blends from Bolgheri, single-varietal Merlots like Masseto and Redigaffi, but also pure Sangiovese when it is conceived without constraints, as is the case with Cepparello.

In this selection, you will find the classics – Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello, Guado al Tasso – and the second-generation wines from Tua Rita, Petra, Biserno, and Bibi Graetz. Many of them are also available as magnums or double magnums, should the occasion call for it.

Tenuta di Biserno Il Pino di Biserno Toscana IGT Magnum

Tenuta di Biserno Il Pino di Biserno Toscana IGT Magnum 2022

Il Pino di Biserno is the second wine of Tenuta di Biserno — and yet not a second-class wine. The estate is located in the coastal hinterland of Tuscany, in the Bibbona area near Bolgheri, and was founded by the Antinori brothers Lodovico and Piero together with Bordeaux oenologist Michel Rolland. The location on well-ventilated hills with deep soils favors Cabernet Sauvignon with the necessary ripeness without over-ripeness — exactly...

Auritea Cabernet Franc Costa Toscana IGT 2018

Cabernet Franc on the Tuscan coast – it sounds unusual, but it makes sense: coastal wind, Mediterranean warmth, and soil containing fossilized seashells shape a grape variety here that often stands in the shadow of the great Bordeaux blends elsewhere.
